Bentley says: 7 max 9 ft-lbs for the M7 "screw for clamp nut."
29 ft lbs is mentioned in a paragraph just above the photo that shows 
the clamp bolt being tightened, but that paragraph is talking about a 
brake caliper bolt, not the wheel bearing adjuster.

Sometimes it is easier to just turn to the back of each chapter where 
there is a torque table for all the things covered in that chapter.
